Hi Bill, Happy New Year ! It was a bit startling when it happened, especially as the DC-3 and Sperry have been so reliable in the past ! If the Dakota needs to be returned for servicing, let me know ... Alastair

Hi, I've used the MAAM-Sim DC-3 for years in FS2004, over countless hundreds of miles, and like to think that I know my way around the cockpit and the basic Sperry autopilot. However, having recently updated my PC to a Win7 64-bit system I came to fly the DC-3 today only to find that suddenly, when the Sperry Pilot is activated, the DC-3 flies 180degrees in the wrong direction ! This appears to be a problem limited to the heading hold element, as the Elevator and Aileron knobs appear to be working correctly and as before. Is this a problem anyone else has come across before, and is it likely to be a limitation related to Win 7 64-bit or some sort of corruption ? Apart from the obvious FS2004 reinstallation needed for registry purposes my set-up is exactly the same as when run on my WinXP system, with the DC-3/C-47 etc installation unchanged from the previous system (99% of my FS2004 files are on a separate drive.) Any help would be appreciated ! Cheers, Alastair

Hi Mark, Good suggestion ! Here are the links for the revised files - they now come in both Word 93-97 .doc format and Word 2010 .docx format. European A4 format:http://www.mediafire...al_A4%20DOC.ziphttp://www.mediafire...l_A4%20DOCX.zip US Letter format:http://www.mediafire...al_US%20DOC.ziphttp://www.mediafire...l_US%20DOCX.zip Alastair

Hi Mark, Sorry for the delay - I've been busy ! Here are the links: A4 versionhttp://www.mediafire.com/file/xjcsdha1fh16pvs/B25%20manual_A4.zip US Letter versionhttp://www.mediafire.com/file/h59dbhrqj2g25gr/B25%20manual_US.zip Alastair

Hi Mark,If you're interested I've done my normal conversion and produced a printable Word document from the new V7 manual - available in both A4 (113pp) and US Letter (120pp) formats. Both are about 10Mb in size. As I now have access to Word 2010 (which can directly open HTML documents) these are near-identical to the original HTML version, other than minor image resizing and insertion of clean page breaks for printing.Alastair

Hi,A small problem with the CD I was sent, it wouldn't automatically run, citing a missing "Index.htm" file.Opening the CD and running the appropriate EXE (for FS2004 in my case) did run the installation, however. This is on a WindowsXP SP3 system.Not a big deal for me, but you may want to keep an eye on whether this happens for anyone else.Cheers,Alastair

Hi,As the P-38 Lightning was flying in the 1930s and 1940, I doubt that they had ILS installed. Whether Glacier Girl had an ILS installed after its rennovation, I don't know, but these people might:P-38 AssociationMy guess is that like many warbirds she is VFR only.Alastair

Hi Jim,Thanks !Alastair

Hi,Having just downloaded and installed ASE SP2 I note on the website that this needs a reactivation.As ASE appears to open exactly as it should, and seems to have been updated, what do I need to do, if anything, to reactivate ASE ?Thanks,Alastair

Hi,There are several free packages at the main download sites, both P-51B and P-51D but in my opinion the best P-51Ds are the payware by A2A Simulations:WW2 Fighters (bundle of 5 different aircraft)WW2 Fighters Wings of Power P-51D SoloP-51D SoloFor both there are quite literally hundreds of different additional liveries, many hosted at the Sim Outhouse.For the earlier P-51B I can recommend the one by Sky Unlimited:Sky Unlimited P-51BAlastair

Hi,As Windows 7 is a 64-bit program the original RealityXP GNS Garmin GPS units won't run, or, more precisely, the 16-bit Trainers won't operate. For aircraft so equipped (such as the GA aircraft from Dreamfleet) there shouldn't be any problems with the planes, you just won't have a working GPS.This can be "solved" by updating to the appropriate GNS WAAS unit, although you may need to update other gauges as well to get back full inter-gauge communication, but this is a different issue not related to Windows 7.Alastair
